It wasn't too bad, I still had some excess skin, but I also lost an additional 20ish lbs more than I gained with him. So I lost 70+lbs in about 10-11 months. And I did A LOT of ab work (Jillian Michaels, body weight exercises, running, etc.) and I think that had an effect. I wish sometimes I had a bit more time to get to where I wanted to be. But that might have been unacheivable anyways, hard to say.
